National Pension System (NPS) is a popular investment plan for building a retirement corpus. Based on the preferences, individuals can invest in four NPS asset classes – Equity, Corporate Bonds, Government Bonds and Alternate Assets.

Why NPS?
NPS is a  secured option of investment regulated by PFRDA (Pension fund regulator under Govt. of India). It is an investment that can be availed online and is preferred among those individuals who are risk-averse and utilize tax benefits under Section 80C deductions. 

There are two types of NPS accounts:- Tier-I and Tier-1

Tier I is a mandatory retirement account that allows NPS subscribers to avail tax benefits but does not allow to withdrawal entire money till retirement.
Tier II is a voluntary account of NPS subscribers to invest and withdraw anytime if withdrawal terms and conditions are met. More importantly, investors can invest in a Tier II account only if he has an active Tier I account.

Employed individuals contributing to NPS would enjoy tax benefits on their own contributions as well as their employer’s contribution as under:

(a) Employee’s contribution - Eligible for tax deduction up to 10% of Salary (Basic + DA) under Section 80 CCD(1) within the overall ceiling of Rs. 1 lakh under Section 80 CCE.
